Song Title: Shark Fin Blues
Artist: Written by The Drones, though this particular tab is as performed by
Missy Higgins.
Tabbed by: Kate
This is a gorgeous song originally done by a truly brilliant Australian band,
The Drones.
The version of this song on which this tab is based is Missy Higgin's cover
version from
her forthcoming
album, Oz, a collection of spectacular songs by extraordinary Australian
artists.
Missy's version is a bit more polished than the rugged original and taken up
a bit in key.
I played along with my capo on the first fret using these chords and it
sounded perfect.
Listen to you original if you didn't do, though I think Missy did beautifully
making
this song her own,
both versions are utterly priceless.
Capo on 1st Fret
A Em
Standing on the deck I watch my shadow stretch
G D
The sun pours my shadow upon the deck
A Em
The waters licking round my ankles now
G D
Well, there ain't no sun shine way way down
A Em
I see the sharks in the water like slicks of ink
G D
well, there's one there bigger than a submarine
A Em
and as he circles, I look in his eyes
G D
I see Jonah in his belly by the camp fire light
A Em
See the albatross up in the windy loft
G D
Gets to beating his wings while he sleeps it off
A Em
I hear the jettisoned cries from his dream unkind
G D
Get to whipping my ears like a riding crop
A Em
Well, the captain once as able as a fink dandy
G D
Is now laid up in the galley like a dried out mink
A Em
He's laying dying of thirst and he says or I think
